You're on the wrong mailing list. This mailing list deals with pgAdmin
support.
You would be better to ask this on pgsql-performance for example. Make
sure you send also an EXPLAIN ANALYZE of the query. If you don't, that's
the first thing they will ask for. And last, having an offset this big
is just asking for (performance) trouble.
